Systems Spray-Cooled receives order from SMS group

Systems Spray-Cooled of The Systems Group, has received an order from SMS group for the design and supply of Spray-Cooled equipment, for SSAB’s new electric arc furnace (EAF) project located in Oxelösund, Sweden.

As part of the contract awarded by SMS, the SSAB project consists of one 190M ton AC furnace. The EAF will utilise Spray-Cooling for the upper shell, roof and fume elbow, as well as the direct evacuation control system (DECS) consisting of a movable D1 downcomer duct and a panellised drop-out chamber (DOC).

The EAF roof is a gantry style roof with a steep-cone hot face profile, for optimisation and extended lifetime. The D1 downcomer duct is hydraulically actuated on a fixed rail support system, that allows for real-time air gap adjustment and swing clearance. The DOC is a panellised, self-supported design, consisting of multiple sidewall and roof panel segments, with an access door for cleanout.

SSAB’s decision to install Spray-Cooled equipment, was based on the need for the safest and most reliable solution when considering long term maintenance costs.
